As a clinical trial statistician or programmer, answer two short questions in Your review: the task and the inputs. Agreeing with both approves this benchmark; disagreeing with either needs a comment. Propose a fix with the Edit button on any source file, or add it to your comments.
We suggest spending no more than 5 minutes on a review. The other tabs beside Your review are background for assessment, not under review.
Summary
README.mdPublic entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.
Goal: derive SEX for each subject of a subject list from the
subject's collected answer.
Input: a subject list naming each subject, and long-form Operational Data Model (ODM) data with one row per collected item.
Variables:
SEXwould be the subject's answer to the sex question.
Each record is built from the subject list, so none of them was built from collected items, and an item has no records of its own to be read from. The request is rejected before any data is read.
How to fix
Build the records from the collected items, one per subject, and read the answer there:
input:
ODM: input/odm.csv
columns:
- name: USUBJID
derivation: ODM.SubjectKey
- name: SEX
derivation: {odm: ODM.IT.DM.SEX}
A subject list that decides which subjects appear is then a filter or a lookup against those records, not the place they are built from.
